American analyst speaks about "wins & losses" of U.S. Congress committee vote on "Armenian genocide"

09 March 2010 [12:23] - TODAY.AZ
Chairman of the Central Asia-Caucasus Institute, Research Professor S. Frederick Starr shared his view on the latest move by the U.S. Congress Committee of Foreign Affairs to approve the  "Armenian genocide" resolution.

“In general, speaking as a historian, I do not consider it appropriate for governmental bodies to  express their views on historical events, which are always contested and on which there are always at least two sides, if not more. This is not constructive and it is definitely not beneficial for Turkey, Armenia, or the U.S. There is no winner from this action, no beneficiary” said Starr.
